Hello Collins

I love cut flowers especially from Clay I taught a lesson about blooming where you are planted a couple of weeks ago. I studied how certain flowers bloom. For instance, tulips need dry hot summers and cold winters. But we aren't all tulips.  The key for me to bloom is patience.  I can't expect to just "get it" right away especially moving to new places and schools. Patience is key.  We are finally blooming here in Boulder...it took awhile. Audrey had a 4th grade hike behind the school and she took this photo off the trail. Me chaperoning on the hike( excuse thumb in photo) We celebrated Chester's 6th birthday.  He requested Indian food at Curry N' Kabob. He had a great Super hero/ X-MEN themed birthday party with friends from scchool! We found the perfect cake for him since he doesn't like cake or frosting...strawberry shortcake!  I used his Grandma's almond cake recipe for the base. Delicious! Lu

Isn't it?  But it can also keep you up at night, induce involuntary eye twitches and cry at inopportune times. Milkbarn kitchen They say the heart of the home is the kitchen. I believe that, kitchens are where cookies are made, conversations evolve and hearts can unite.  But come on now, that is on a good day and we know that, right? Our flooring comes in boxes.  Happy, happy boxes for me! Clay and Audrey rising early  I did help. I don't just walk around taking photos of Clay sweating to death while working. I learned to shake the flooring out and place each strip of wood. I learned to not create "H's" in the flooring with the strips. Now that fact has me ruined as I stare at wood floors everywhere I go. I even tried to look up at the ceiling in our chapel to see if there were any H's.  But then I felt awkward, so I stopped. Our Restoration Hardware light all wrapped up. I'm not even trying to humble brag ho
